After previewing Kendra Scott’s spring and summer collections during New York Fashion Week in February, I got very excited for the launch of both collections. The spring collection, “Avant Garden,” was absolutely divine, with seasonal, vivid pastels, and feminine flair. The summer 2015 collection, “Via Maya,” offers a completely different vibe; with bright colors to celebrate the hot weather season.

The summer 2015 collection “Via Maya” takes its’ inspiration from the Mayan culture. The triangular designs and details are inspired by Mayan ruins with bright, hot weather colors to match the climate where the Mayans once lived. Kendra Scott is showing layered statement necklaces, sunburst designs, and color combinations which will turn heads and capture the hearts of jewelry aficionados everywhere. Love that!

I have my eyes on several pieces from Kendra Scott’s summer 2015 “Via Maya” collection. I love the designs and colors! I curated my favorites from Kendra Scott’s summer 2015 collection and placed them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them, I sure do! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Cool spring day

Despite the crazy heat wave we had in early March, our normal spring weather pattern has returned to the Bay Area. Yay! Now, if only our normal April Showers would return! But I digress. . .

When the temperatures hover in the 60’s and 70’s, it is nice to have a lightweight, spring sweater. I love this nautical sweater by JCrew Factory. It is perfect for foggy mornings and cool, breezy spring days. I love wearing a navy, short sleeve tee underneath so I can take the sweater off when the fog burns off later in the day. My go-to tee is this one. This sweater also looks cute with a denim skirt and flats 😉

I am still adjusting to the return of flared jeans. I feel like skinny jeans are more flattering on my short legs. So, in order to lengthen my leg, I feel like I need a really high shoe. Even with a tall heel, I still don’t feel like flare jeans flatter me as much as skinny jeans. Although, I have to admit, they are more comfortable. Skinny jeans can be a bit constricting! I also love the fresh silhouette of flare jeans, and bootcut jeans. The 70’s trend is my favorite this season! What are your thoughts? Are you thrilled to ditch your skinnies and go back to flares; or do you have mixed emotions like me?

Winter into spring transitional outfit

February and March are always confusing months for a wardrobe. One day it will be eighty degrees and perfect weather, the next next day it can drop down to sixty degrees and start to rain. Of course, since we have a drought in the San Francisco Bay Area, we are seeing more of those eighty degree, pool days rather than the cooler, rainy days. Oh how we wish for rain! But I digress. . .

Since the weather is transitioning from winter into spring, our wardrobe needs to be able to transition too. This is why I love skirts in thick fabrics which can easily be worn with tights on cool days, and bare legs on warmer days. This Milly skirt fits the transitional bill. It has a black band at the top, covered by my shirt-sorry about that, which allows it to be worn with black tights, and a black wool coat for cool days. On warmer days, the bright colors and the festive pattern work well for a spring look. Love that!

I wore this skirt at fashion week in early February when temperatures dropped below ten degrees. I have never been so cold in my life! Thankfully, this skirt is easy to layer and added a little bright color to the dreary days in New York. My friend Jenna snapped a few pictures of me inside the tents between shows because it was way too cold to take pictures outside. Plus, I wanted to have one last photo opp with the Mercedes Benz display. This was the last fashion week in New York they would be sponsoring so I needed a little souvenir. 😉

Now that the weather is starting to warm up, and it is officially spring, I look forward to wearing this skirt with less layers; and eventually short sleeves as we head towards summer!

Skirts are my favorite transitional pieces from winter into spring, what is your favorite way to transition between seasons?
